This study will look at how news framing from three online media, Liputan6.com Vivanews.com, and Metronews.com. The selection of these three online sites is based on media ownership. The substantive theory used to analyze is the theory of social construction of reality from Berger and Luckmann, and the theory of influence hierarchy from Shoemaker and Reese. The research method will use framing analysis from Robert N. Entman. The unit of analysis is reporting on the resignation of Ahok from the Gerindra Party on the three online news sites above when officially resigning on September 10 to September 17 2014.
